When you set the value of an input element using .val() (or elem.value), you are updating a DOM property, not an HTML attribute. This issue comes up frequently. As to just why .val() is so anomalous, I cannot provide a great answer at the moment. I am not sure if this is something that is "fixable" with jQuery or if it is an issue inherent to this particular property. Perhaps someone else can provide some illumination?

This is a problem similar to #3016 and #1736; dynamic values are not guaranteed to be copied when nodes are cloned or serialized to a string. All the general fixes would be horribly complex to implement but if you have a breakthrough idea let us know.

Please follow the  bug reporting guidlines and use  jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.
